> Historically, org.apache.axiom.om.impl.llom.factory.OMXMLBuilderFactory was 
> used to create Axiom trees from XML documents (and there are still places in 
> Axis2 where this is used). Unfortunately, this class is located in the wrong 
> package and JAR (it is implementation independent but belongs to LLOM). 
> Nowadays, the standard way to create an Axiom tree is to instantiate 
> StAXOMBuilder or one of its subclasses directly. However, this is not optimal 
> for two reasons:
> * It implies the assumption that every implementation of the Axiom API 
> necessarily uses StAXOMBuilder. This means that an implementation doesn't 
> have the freedom to provide its own builder implementation (e.g. in order to 
> implement some special optimizations).
> * StAXOMBuilder belongs to a package which has "impl" in its name. This tends 
> to blur the distinction between the public API and internal implementation 
> classes.
> There should be an abstract API for creating builder instances. It should be 
> defined in terms of interfaces (such as OMXMLParserWrapper). OMMetaFactory is 
> a good candidate for this because it is already used to encapsulate an 
> implementation of the Axiom API (there is one implementation of OMMetaFactory 
> for LLOM and one for DOOM).
